Configuring DASD for ASM

DASD Disk devices are formatted the usual way.

For example:

  • chccwdev -e 0772 to bring device 0772 online
  • lsdasd to find out the Linux name of the device /dev/dasdy
  • dasdfmt -f /dev/dasdy -b 4096 -p to low level format, where dasdy is the Linux device name)
  • fdasd -a /dev/dasdy -b 4096 -p to create one partition
